drst:
Recently many writers (myself included) have received threats to have their works reported for violating fanfiction.net’s rules on mature content. Apparently someone anonymously reported 11 writers, all from the Outlaw Queen fandom.
The report went to a group called Critics United who decided to make themselves a member-generated police force for FFN. If we don’t take the smutty fics down, they will mass report us to FFN admins until said fics are deleted.
Though it’s been ignored largely, FFN technically prohibits graphic descriptions of sex. So we don’t have a leg to stand on.
With this in mind, many of the writers in the Outlaw Queen fandom (since our fandom is being targeted specifically) have been trying to make AO3 the main source for fic reading.
That’s where you can find the porn, basically, lol.
AO3 has a waitlist to join, but you can get around the waitlist if you know someone with an invite.
That’s where the OQ AO3 invite exchange comes into play. If you need an invite, tweet us. If you have one, tweet us. We will match you up so you can immediate start reading/preserving beloved fics.
For all OUAT fanwork creators, regardless of who you ship, if you post works with adult content on FFN, I suggest you take note of this and plan to back up your stories and feedback, because judging by their forums, “Critics United” has some members/participants/tipsters who are taking an interest in OUAT fandom generally, not just Outlaw Queen authors.
I also highly recommend archiving your work on AO3, where posting adult content *isn’t* a violation of the site’s Terms of Service.
Full disclosure – I’m a volunteer with the Archive, and I’m happy to answer any questions you might have about getting an account, posting a work, or anything of that nature, feel free to PM or Ask.
OK I don’t even go here but if any OQ or other fic writers being attacked like this need invites, speak up. I’m not sure I have any myself but I will signal boost until we get everyone who needs one set up. Because this is some bull fucking shit here.
DM me for an invite.
I’ve got 4 invites I can give out.
I only have one but I’m willing to give it to anyone who needs it.
